The “Well, There’s your problem” edition

Well Friday ended up being a productive day! Not because I had it off, but because I was able to finally resolve the issues with my bike.  I am finally glad this little chapter is coming to a close, as it was really starting to drag on me.  I really wasn’t sure I was going to do if this didn’t work (even though I was positive it would).

Check the Fed Ex Tracking number, shows my throttle bodies assembly is out for delivery! Weeeeeeee

So I wait around the house (Had the day off), and it finally shows up just after noon.

I boogie on down to the storage unit, and decide what plan of action I am going to take.

I decide… That I am going to just replace the throttle side TPS, just to see how things respond.

So I do that…

I put the bike in Diagnostic Mode…

And everything Actuates!

I then adjust the sensor, tighten the bodies down, and get her all buttoned up!

Then I realized I forgot to put the side tank bolts on!

And I was running behind and am supposed to meet some people at 4:30…

Which means I need to run home, grab bike, and then hit the meeting spot…

So I just leave.

Yesterday I went ahead and finished it up. Started her up, and she runs! (good sign!)

So yay!

Oh, and on an unrelated note, I finally found my camera, which means I can start taking pictures for updates now! God I hate moving, I always loose stuff for long periods of time!
